It also makes reference to the results of the Seminar on “Social Policy in Development Context” organized in Sweden by the Swedish International Development Agency, Sida, and the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development, UNRISD. The seminar in Sweden on October 31st, 2006 examined the results of the five-year research programme of UNRISD, sponsored by Sweden. The purpose is to provide a broader and more detailed conceptual background to the Policy Note: “New Consensus on Comprehensive Social and Employment Policies for Development” that was drafted by the Kellokoski Expert’s Meeting as an input to discussions to be held during the UN Commission for Social Development (CsocD), New York, February 2007. The document draws from the inputs, discussions and outputs of the Finland and Sweden events and aims to put the Policy Note in its conceptual, factual and policy context. The first section of the document contains a foreword by the Finnish Delegation to the 45th session of the UN Commission for Social Development (CsocD). The second section presents the Policy Note that resulted from the Experts’ meeting. The third section contains a background document for the Policy Note. This is derived from the inputs and discussions at the Finland and Sweden events. Its first chapter introduces briefly the path that led to the current dialogue on social policy and development at the global level. The second chapter maps the social policy challenges that have to be managed in the Global South as well as globally. This is done through the analyses by the Tanzanian, South African, Zambian, Indian, and Namibian partners, who provided concrete cases describing the social policy challenges and innovative responses in the Global South. The third chapter describes some recent responses by international stakeholders to these challenges. This chapter then draws on inputs by a number of intergovernmental organizations, global NGOs, and donor governments. The chapter on Research Perspectives refers to the results of the UNRISD research programme “Social Policy in a Development Context”, which was reviewed at the Stockholm event, and the views of researchers in the partner countries as reflected in the inputs to the Finland event. The chapter on Ways Forward is based on the group work and discussions at the Finland event. The outcome is elaborated in the Policy Note that was drafted by a small drafting team and circulated for comments among the participants of the COMPREHENSIVE SOCIAL AND EMPLOYMENT 6 POLICIES FOR DEVELOPMENT IN A GLOBALIZING WORLD Finland event. The last section describes the perspectives of Finland regarding social policy for development. The original inputs to the Experts’ Meeting are available on the internet at <http://groups .stakes fi/.

However, this is a “second generation” document rather than a traditional meeting report. It aims at taking the discussion one step further and therefore much additional material has also been used.

FOREWORd – REVitALIZING THE COPENHAGEN AGENDA Foreword by the Delegation of Finland to the 45th Session of the CSocD Finland, in close partnership with Sweden, invited a group of social and employment policy experts – including policy makers, practitioners and policy analysts from developing and developed countries – to an Experts’ Meeting on Social Policies for Development in a Globalizing World in Kellokoski, Finland, 1–2 November, 2006. The main goal of the Meeting was to support and contribute to the follow-up of the Copenhagen World Summit for Social Development (WSSD) and related processes. A specific task of the Meeting was to make sure that some well-informed voices from Africa are heard and listened to by Northern partners, and that the Southern and Northern partners then jointly prepare a Policy Note that might attract the attention of all country groups participating in the inter-governmental discussions during the next session of the UN Commission for Social Development (CSocD), 7–16 February, 2007 in New York. The Kellokoski Experts’ Meeting aimed at facilitating a global process to promote the design and implementation of appropriate approaches and models of comprehensive social and employment policies in Africa and in other parts of the ‘Global South’. The event was one step in a multi-stakeholder partnership and dialogue of like- minded countries, agencies and experts. It built on the results achieved thus far by the partners. It was closely co-ordinated
